JasperReport Server REST 2 api - Creating a new re

Question

I was not able to find any api that can actually create a report on the JasperReports Server.

There is one to create resource. http://community.jaspersoft.com/documentation/jasperreports-server-web-services-guide/v550/creating-resource

To an extend it tells about how to create a folder etc. but talks nothing about creating a report in all.

Any idea on how a report (jrxml) can be done in a programmatic way?

Thanks.

To post your reports manually to the JasperServer repository, use the same method as in the link you posted, but you aren't posting a resourceDescriptor. You should be posting a reportUnit instead.

Here is an example of the PUT command where I'm sending a (gzipped) jrxml file I named TestJrxmlFile to the repository creating a new report:

PUT http://localhost:8080/jasperserver-pro/rest_v2/resources/public/TestJrxmlFile?createFolders=true&overwrite=true HTTP/1.1

Updating a single jrxml file would require posting a file a la

PUT http://localhost:8080/jasperserver-pro/rest_v2/resources/public/TestJrxmlFile_files/main_jrxml?createFolders=true&overwrite=true HTTP/1.1
